It was a beautiful sunny day in a small village in Africa. I was playing with the children outside. A little boy, about 7 years old, gestured to me to follow him. He had a shy smile on his small face and said something to me.
"You want me to go to your home?" I asked. He nodded. So we went hand in hand to his home.
We went to the place where the cabbages were growing. "Piga picha" he said … "Take a picture". Then, I took a photo and showed him the photo on the camera, and he nodded.
We walked closer to the house and the little boy stood by the coffee tree. There his younger brother was picking coffee berries(咖啡豆). "Piga picha" he said again. I took a picture quickly for his younger brother.
He then pulled me by the hand to his mother's grave(墓地)around the back of the house. "Mama Sue," he said almost in tears, "Piga picha." It was my turn to nod. I silently obeyed his simple request. "Piga picha."
A picture of a little boy at his mother's grave! That reminded me: 40 years ago, when I was 7 years old, I was also standing at my own mother's grave.
What a day!

Chinese TV shows that describe young people's lives in modern society are crossing the cultural divide and attracting a lot of foreign audiences.
One of the examples is the Chinese TV series "A Beautiful Daughter-in-law Era", a light comedy about a modern Chinese couple.
The TV series was first aired in Shanghai in November 2009. It was dubbed in Swahili and broadcast in east African countries in 2011. Two Kenyan(肯尼亚人) actresses were chosen to do voice dubbing for the two leading roles in the African version of the series. It was a great success in Africa.
Tanzanians(坦桑尼亚人) say that they are able to understand how young Chinese people live happily in modern times and they may be able to find ways to solve their personal problems by watching the series.
Although China is one of the world's most prolific(多产的) producers of TV series, its series are not particularly popular overseas. The popularity of "A Beautiful Daughter-In-Law Era" may serve as an example for Chinese TV producers who want to bring their work to other countries.
In recent years, some TV series that show the lives of people in Chinese cities have achieved some success in the foreign market.
"Go Lala Go!," a TV series that details the adventures of a female office worker named Du Lala, has also started to reach global audiences. The series has been exported to Singapore, Malaysia, the United States and Canada.
"The Chinese dream will be more easily accepted by foreign audiences when it is manifested in small and touching stories," said Meng Jian, a professor at Fudan University.

He listened to me quietly, and then he asked, “Are the things she said true or not? Mary, didn’t you ever wonder what you’re really like? Go and make a list of everything she said and mark (作记号)the points that are true. Pay no attention to the other things she said.”
I did as he told me and to my surprise, I found that about half the things were true. I brought the list back to my dad. He refused(拒绝) to take it. “That’s just for you,” he said. “You know better than anyone else the truth about yourself. When something said about you is true, you’ll find it will be helpful to you. Don’t close your ears. Listen to them all, but hear the truth and do what you think is right.”
Many years has passed. I often think of that thing. In our life we often meet with some trouble and we often go to someone and ask for advice. For some advice you will treasure(珍惜)all your life!

In our life, we all try to get better every day. We all set dreams in our life.
To win the life race, we work hard and with the time we finally achieve it.
But our happiness lasts for a very short time when we start comparing the things with others.
Actually you can never compare yourself with others. You may know yourself completely. You may know what you have and how you got that. But you can never know what someone else has and how he got that. You can compare one factor (要素) but you never even know other factors.
If you still want to compare, compare with yourself.
Always remember that you are the only you. Just like everyone else.
